Definition of bradykinin in English: bradykininnounˌbradɪˈkʌɪnɪn-ˈkinin mass nounBiochemistry A compound released in the blood in some circumstances which causes contraction of smooth muscle and dilation of blood vessels. It is a peptide with nine amino-acid residues. Example sentencesExamples - This class of receptors includes the angiotensin, bradykinin and vasopressin receptors.
- Another component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is bradykinin, a vasoactive peptide metabolized by the same enzyme that converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II.
- The profile parallels that observed for bradykinin stimulated smooth muscle cells.
- Vasodilators, such as acetylcholine and bradykinin, do not exert their effects upon the vascular smooth muscle cell in the absence of the overlying endothelium.
- The peptide subfamily of GPCR contains receptors that bind a disparate array of peptides, such as angiotensin, bradykinin, opioid, somatostatin, and chemokines.
Origin 1940s: from Greek bradus 'slow' + kinēsis 'motion' + -in1.
